Chapter 583 Persuasion

Although the imperial examination was a great invention, the scholars elected in the imperial examination did not have the power from the beginning. Instead, they experienced the accumulation of the Sui and Tang Dynasties and the rise of the Song Dynasty, which led to the huge influence of the scholars of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

In the Ming and Qing dynasties, even if there were no emperors or no nobles, and only the bureaucratic organization composed of scholars, the country could run smoothly. However, in the Tang Dynasty, without nobles, the country would be difficult to operate. Because all the places were nepotism, all the noble families and vassals of the nobles.

Seeing Li Bai recommending himself to the nobles so actively, instead of taking the imperial examination, you know that taking the imperial examination is actually useless, and he is also a vassal of the nobles. Therefore, there is no fundamental difference between taking the imperial examination or not.

It was not until the Song Dynasty that there was a decisive difference. Scholars and nobles could be on par with equality. Scholars established a new set of principles that transcend aristocratic etiquette. Although the set of things from scholars is still considered Confucianism, it has no more to do with aristocratic etiquette.

Confucius restrained himself and restored the rituals because nobility could not be without etiquette. The aristocrats determined their identity and status and alliance through etiquette processes. Etiquette was crucial to the aristocrats.

But this set of etiquette is of no use to scholars. The scholars were born in a commoner and did not accumulate the foundations of their lives, so they could not play with the nobles' etiquette at all. Therefore, the Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism believed that everything has a principle, that is, the law of nature. Everyone must arrange their actions according to the law of nature. Since the law of nature is not etiquette, it is naturally not distinguished between scholars and nobles. Since it is acted according to the law of nature, then the etiquette of aristocrats is optional, and the law of nature will naturally stipulate everyone's status and mutual relations. Scholars do not need to accumulate foundations to fight against the nobles. They only need to conform to the law of nature, they are all allies, all their own people, and scholars in the world are family.

With the rules of the law of nature, scholars have continued to form alliances and grow, and they can rely on themselves rather than on the nobles.

Now that the rules of the law of nature have not yet appeared, it is difficult for scholars and scholars to unite, because they do not have a unified standard of behavior and a unified logic of behavior. But aristocrats have it, so the power of aristocrats is stronger than that of scholars, and scholars will naturally be controlled by the nobles.

The power of foreign relatives is the aristocratic force among the nobles, which is second only to the royal family, so it is also the force with the greatest influence on the royal family. If scholars can rise up, they will naturally play a role in suppressing foreign relatives, and of course they will also suppress the royal family.

Yun Yao just chose a nice saying, but he didn't say that if the scholars rose, the emperor had to rely on provoking the party and government to control the scholars, either opening the East Factory, the West Factory, the Jinyiwei, or raising coat slaves. Anyway, after the scholars rose, the emperor had to find ways to control them, otherwise the scholars would definitely let the emperor know what the power of knowledge is.

So if Li Shimin knew that the rise of scholars would threaten imperial power, he would probably not be so active in promoting the design of the core values ​​of scholars.

Anyway, scholars are very weak now, they are just vassals of the nobles. They still need to grow for one or two hundred years before they can truly enter the stage of history and make their own voices.

As soon as Yun Yao spoke, she had a hundred-year plan. The ministers admitted that the little princess was so powerful that she looked at the problem not for a few years, but for a hundred years. Then she raised one million yuan, and it was definitely not a joke, but for the future.

The ministers all admitted that Yunyao had put forward wonderful insights in the fields they were good at, and they all agreed with her ability, so they stopped saying anything, agreed to all, and were even willing to pay.

"Yun'er, you go down." Li Shimin wanted to continue discussing government affairs with the ministers, so he let Yun Yao go down first.

After finishing it, Yunyao thought that the next thing was to raise money, and then he had to find land to build a shipyard, because everything started from scratch and would be busy in the next two years.

You need land and people. Chang'an's geographical location is not ideal. It would be great if you could get by the sea. Yun Yao thought he would still have to find someone to build a factory by the sea and then remotely control it himself.

"A telegram, or a phone call? But this requires a generator, a battery, and a wire." Behind a convenient prop is often a set of industrial facilities.

Yun Yao said that if she really did the whole thing, she would have died young and entered the heavenly court early. The whole system was too complicated and too large, but she decided to open a shipyard by the beach. As for contact, just use a post station. Anyway, the road traffic in the Sui and Tang Dynasties was still very good.

Traffic with all connections is also the basis of unity. Without roads, it cannot be circulated or managed.

Back at his palace, Yunyao began to examine the paintings of palace maids. In order to develop medical skills, sketching must be developed, because only by accurately drawing the human body can medical skills be better developed and spread medical skills.

Therefore, to draw, you must be vivid and vivid, and to distort the real.

The aesthetics of the Central Plains emphasize artistic conception, because the philosophy of the Central Plains is endogenous changes, yin and yang, cold and heat, size, high ground, light and dark, hard and soft are all mutually generated and restrained, and everything is changing and uncertain. Therefore, artistic conception is enduring, appearance is not important, as long as it can highlight artistic conception. Therefore, paintings in the Central Plains are often quite simple, and just a few strokes seem to be tolerant of the world. Although it is an amazing art, it is not enough as a tool.

What Yunyao now needs is the tool of painting, not art. So training palace maids to draw is a tool of cultivation. When dissecting the human body, someone will have to draw the internal organs and bones.

Charcoal pens, drawing boards, and pigments of different colors are all ready. Today I was drawing peony flowers. Yun Yao felt that the sketching level of the palace maid needs to be improved. However, we cannot be too hasty. These things must be cultivated little by little, and it is impossible to say that we will become fat in one breath.

The accumulation process is always painful and slow, but the flowers of the final victory are always brilliant.

The hospital was very smooth. Sun Simiao had already gotten rid of the fake medicine business and treated the disease wholeheartedly. Many patients were sent to the hospital because the hospital's medical expenses were cheap, which gave the doctor enough cases to study.

However, Yunyao has not said that he would be dissected yet, and she doesn't know if everyone can accept it. After all, the dead are the most important. But if it really can't be pushed, then I'll find a few monks and ask them if they are willing to donate their bodies voluntarily. If they really have the determination to save all sentient beings, then in order to reduce the suffering of the world, they should actively respond to donating the bodies. After all, Buddhas cut their flesh and feed the eagles, and monks donating bodies are also implementing Buddhist principles.

At that time, these palace maids will have to overcome their fear, otherwise it will be bad to faint during the dissection, so Yunyao specially selected a group of bold palace maids, hoping that they can be competent for the work.

Anatomy is a huge ethical challenge. When it comes to execution, there will be various opposition voices.

"Or why should I control public opinion first?" From the telegram, I thought of newspapers. Newspapers do not need power plants. As far as current technology is concerned, there is no problem in printing newspapers.
